Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist who forms rust-preventive coatings on the surfaces of metal parts using chemical and electrochemical methods to protect against corrosion.
Description
Bonderite workers (film rust prevention workers) use chemical solutions such as chemical conversion treatments and chromate treatments to form rust-preventive coatings on the surfaces of metal parts. They perform pre-treatments like degreasing and cleaning, then immerse or apply the solutions and react them at specified temperatures and times. After treatment, they conduct inspections of film thickness, pH, and appearance to manage quality. This occupation is used in a wide range of manufacturing sites, including industrial machinery, automotive parts, and electronic components, and requires acquiring skills in chrome-free treatment technologies to comply with environmental and safety regulations.
Future Outlook
While demand in manufacturing remains stable, strengthening environmental regulations requires adaptation to new technologies such as chrome-less treatments, and acquiring such skills will enhance future value.
